let's ask columnist dan henninger and bill mcburn and mary anastasia o'grady. dan, what do you think president trump is on assault with the kochs? >> picked somebody to have a fight with so that it reflects well on him and animates his base. donald trump is all about that base. let's talk about that, despite what the kochs paul is not a minor event, i think it is a warning shot across american politics, as spokesman said they don't see as binary choice but the trump people think it's his way or the highway and on the left progressive it's their way or highway, increasing number of americans are starting to drop out the binary choice and what the koch brothers are doing, some of it a mistake, but i think we are going to see much more of this sort of thing, substantial things within the two parties withdrawing from the kind of binary choice that they're being forced to make. paul: well, we know, mary, republicans aren't in a very tough fight to hold congress, okay, so you need all the allies you can get? [laughter] >> right. paul: why would you get in the fight wi

dan henninger with all the honey she brings, i don't know she is such a burden.ould have to be a real drag. the right loves to punch at her, an effective target. i don't know. >> i agree with you, melissa. the bottom line she is master fund-raiser and right now in the middle of all these races those candidates out there, democrats need what nancy pelosi can raise for them. but i think there is a legitimate question here about the generational transition is and political transition. there are a lot of gerrymandered democrats in the house, especially younger black politicians, democratic politicians, very difficult for them to break in. there send tire generation of younger politicians, minority politicians that probably should be getting into politics because can't break in because people like nancy pelosi, maxine waters, simply won't go. and i think that pressure will continue no matter what happens. melissa: richard, do you think that is true? >> i'm trying to figure out what african-american candidates he is talking about. look what is happening in georgia. we

stuart: dan henninger who do you like? >> two competitive guys, it's going to be a great match. the market is down 100 points, something is pulling it back. there's such a big part of the market. stuart: apple is driving the dow higher. ashley: we were down 200 points. stuart:st up 5 bucks, that contributes quite a lot to apple's price, i don't know what to say. >> exciting. stuart: that's good, you want my job? i have to be the commentator. ashley: come on. i need 5. stuart: i'm not allowed to go to commercial break until we hit -- we are half billion away. ashley: that's nothing in apple world. stuart: 207.04 is the price we've got to get to. >> we are at 206. liz: apple has made a lot of millionaires. stuart: not me. ashley: you're not a bitter about it. stuart: i'm an idiot. i have another story about missed opportunity, you remember the stock, the company called national semi? ashley: no. stuart: okay. short for national semiconductor. ashley: i remember that. stuart: old colleague and friend of mine walk intoed a brokerage office, this is way back in the 70's -- ashley: wi

properly utilized, he added must also tree clear to stop fire from spreading, we are back with dan henninger, kim strassel and allysia finally, why are the fires as severe as they are? >> well, they were pretty severe last year and started earlier this year, one reason high temperatures especially up in the north, heat wave, high heavy winds and a lot of dry vegetation after 7 or 8 years of drought. we had plus you had actually one wet year -- paul: the previous year. >> the previous year which actually provided more vegetation over growth and so the fires have more fuel to burn. paul: okay, let's take the president's issues, the water, is there a shortage of water to fight the fire? >> not to fight the fires but there's a shortage of water in california, huge shortage. paul: what's the problem? >> the problem is that environmental restrictions to protect fish mainly the salmon in delta where all the rivers in the north run in to. they are using the water for fires. the pumping restrictions very little of the water actually moves down paul: where does it go? >> to the ocean. paul: they take

let me ask dan henninger. let's discuss this. think it's interesting that obviously some people really love the president, some people hate the president, it's the ones in between who seem to be deciding these elections. how are candidates going to use his wattage in the mid-terms? >> the record shows if you are running in a district -- the record shows if you are going to run in a district it that was carried overwhelmingly by donald trump, you want him to campaign for you. that said, kathy rogers running in a district trump carried by 12 point could not get her vote above 50% in the jungle primary. there probably is -- you would be hard put to find another district more heavily weighted toward the republican than ohio 12 near columbus and troy balderson finishes in a virtual dead heat. the question is, is trump driving votes toward these candidates or se siphoning them away? kennedy: you inject another element. fair-weather trumpers. not never trumpers. >> i think you are seeing a development of fair weather trumpers. they live

joining the panel this week wall street journal columnist and deputy editor dan henninger, columnist strassel and columnist and man at hean institute senior fellow jason riley, jason, how much trouble is pelosi in here for her attempt to become speaker? >> i don't know that she's in a whole lot of trouble, paul, we heard some of this back in 2016, people that were going to challenge her for leadership, on some of the same grounds tim ryan and ohio from district that obama won by 23 points and trump won by 7, and he said ui know how to get back some of these voters that we lost, turns out that the democrats didn't wanting to that ruth, the -- route, but it's really the progressivism of the party. you have the leadership and the house from san francisco, nancy pelosi, you have the leadership in the senate from new york and chuck schumer, these are not states that are in play for republicans, these are solid democratic states, i think they need a leadership that's focused on that -- paul: let me ask you, if you have all the candidates, the difference between now and 2016 is that you hav

dan henninger from the "wall street journal."ting bernie sanders last night in pennsylvania. >> president trump: you have to hand it to bernie, i saw him up there the other day, that hair is getting whiter and whiter and he is getting crazier and crazier. you have to hand it to that guy. he doesn't quit. >> bill: the president calling out liberal democrats and socialists as he promises to keep up the pressure on congress for the border wall. anthony scaramucci is live today. we'll talk to him coming up in moments. tion right now to say we have suspects, we don't have suspects. persons of interest or anything else. >> bill: matt finn on the story today. montezuma, iowa, matt. >> that press conference just wrapped up. no new information. these press conferences have become highly anticipated because outside of them police aren't answering any questions, questions from the media or people of the public. people gather around and get ready for the press conferences, maybe a break or a lead or arrest and then nothing. there is a growin

let's bring in "wall street journal" columnist and editor dan henninger. mber alicia finley. dan, after you look at tuesday's results, how much trouble is the republican party in in november? >> i would say the republican party is indeed in trouble, paul. look, the baseline is that ohio 12 race where troy balderson seems to have won by less than 1% against the democrat, look, on a scale of >> >> >> arthel, we are learning this man didn't have a pilot's license. he he ended up crashing that plane in the puget sound. authorities say thankfully no one on the ground was hurt. authorities say it was early on in the investigation and don't have 100% clarity on his motive. if you listen to some of the recordings on the conversations between air traffic controllers and the man, it does give us insight into what he was thinking. take a listen. >> i've got a lot of people that care about me. and it's going to disappoint them to hear that i did this. i would like to apologize to each and every one of them. just a broken guy, got a few screws loose, i guess, never real

market strategist, quincy krosby, "wall street journal" editorial board member, crackerjack writer, dan henninger. the idea that exposure to turkey knows no end. even though they have a plan to stablize the markets it hasn't done the trick, what is going on here? >> there is no plain to stablize the markets. the problem lies inside of turkey. mr. erdogan is giving no indication that he will allow the turkish central bank to stem the fall of the letter a. we went through the mexican peso crisis in 1994. you're frying to find out where the exposures lie. turkey has 50% of hard debt in its currencies mostly in dollar. we're trying to find out which european banks hold turkish debt and how much exposure do they have? that would be the big question right now. neil: it happens again and again, right? every time we see this sort of thing crop up, we could go back to thailand and the bat crisis. seems like the exposure would be minimal, never deemed minimal or reaction is never deemed minimal. what do you make of isn't. >> you always worry about collateral damage. go one year to 1998. when russia default

political parties are losing ground to ideologies and personalities, the man who wrote that is dan henningersure. let's talk with a baseline fact, the results in ohio 12, this was a district the republicans should have carried by a large number of votes, it was basically a dead heat, troy balderson winning by less than 1% okay, trump disrupted the republican party, he's made it the party of trump, but the fact is that there are a lot of right of center voters that feel smothered and squeezed by the overpowering presence of trump and have been looking for other ways out. one example was the koch brothers, the fight with them was canary like e monomusk tweets, it's too much for them. now they've pretty much dropped out. i call them fair-weather trumpers, they like policies but they don't particularly care for the melodramas. stuart: can i extrapolate from that they are tired not just disruption that president trump brings but the demeanor, a lot of people don't like that and won't vote. >> i don't know whether it's yes, it's a substantial number. he's got 35% to have electorate that's going to
